A young kick-boxer

Isn't a child at 5 a little young to be doing kick-boxing, or is it just me?
Sure, this is not full contact, but still..
Then again, it seems that he's trained properly - and it's apparent that this kid is doing just fine.

Story:
An infant school pupil from Weston has become one of the youngest ever European kick-boxing champions. Andrew Fowler, aged just 7, won the beginners class at a competition in Worcester.

Mum Sam, aged 25, of Selworthy Road, said: "He's a quiet boy. When he has been picked on at school he refuses to even say he can kick-box."

"Since starting kick-boxing he likes to eat healthier, walks everywhere and is more confident and out-going. He is also a star pupil and gets top grades at school."
